Lets write a story!

Asked by Coloma (47190points) April 25th, 2010

California cocktail hour here, a bit of wine and grilling happening now. Thought it might be fun to collaborate on a silly story…bring froth( leaving that typo as an intro, lol ) your wit, humor and verbosity. I’ll be checking in between the dinner prep! Think Bulwer Lytton theme….;-)

Elliot peered into the sink and felt a frothy sensation rise in his throat, as he gazed upon the unidentifiable remains in the drain.
What had Martha been preparing for the evening meal of last?

rebbel's avatar

And what was that axe doing there behind the dustbin?

janbb's avatar

There were pink soapsuds in the sink, a mushy organic matter in the drain and a trail of – was it blood? – leading to the dustbin and what lay beyond…..

It had been raining yesterday, and there was mud on her boots by the door.

TexasDude's avatar

Suddenly, I realized that I was schizophrenic and incapable of recalling details in the actual order they occurred. Then I ate a peanut butter and pixie stick sandwhich and cried.

Trillian's avatar

There! Beyond the basement door! What was that noise? It was the distinct sound of muffled cries, like one who had been gagged and perhaps trussed like a goose.
Or was I dreaming while awake again?

Coloma's avatar

Elliot gagged on his peanut butter sandwich, the cries were unmistakeable…what was going on?

He had been faithful to his medications, this was not his imagination, something was frightfully amiss!

Just then Crackers the cat leapt through the pet door into the breezeway trembling and covered in….

rebbel's avatar

peanutbutter?~

gailcalled's avatar

The sun set, and, yes, it was a dark and stormy night. Cracker’s fur began to…

jeanmay's avatar

…crinkle and wheeze in a catty-accordion like manner. His tail shot up, his claws gripped the linoleum floor with a clatter, hissing and yowling as they did so. Eliot spun around to see what Crackers was reacting to…

Trillian's avatar

in time to see the fur slough off in huge bloody sheets to reveal underneath what appeared to be…

Coloma's avatar

something beyond Elliots comprehension…and in the middle of what was Crackers ribcage a human finger pointed straight at Elliots face. Fearing a complete break with reality Elliot raced to the medicine chest…..

Coloma's avatar

we’re staggering here…lololol

rebbel's avatar

…only to find her reflection in the mirrored doors of the chest.
She had grown whiskers….

Coloma's avatar

OMG! It was TRUE, Martha had warned him of the Werecat…Elliot had never believed her, Crackers was such a sweet pussy ) OMG…faltering, faltering…lol )

Trillian's avatar

Then his reflection leaned out and grabbed him by the throat. Foul breath from the very pits of hell blew his hair back, as the reflection rasped out..

Coloma's avatar

@Trillian—lololol ‘rasped out’ lololol

gailcalled's avatar

“Do anything but stick beans up your nose..”.

Coloma's avatar

It was good that Martha was away for the week, now Elliot could run with the wild Werepussy, never mind the pink foam in the sink, somehow Elliot knew that he too would be carving ofamy pink things in the sink after midnight!

Coloma's avatar

—@gailcalled—

Well, ya gotta admit, it’s an excercise

I once inhaled a pussy willow bud as a child, one of those contests, who can spit the pussy willow bud the furthest? lol

Trillian's avatar

The transformatin complete, Elliot was about to run out the back door with werepuss when there came a rapping, as of someone gently tapping. Tapping at his oak front door…

Coloma's avatar

Frozen between two worlds Elliot gasped! Dare he answer the knock? Peering through the peephole he was relieved, it was only Atticus the local scissor sharpener…Elliot smiled….

chyna's avatar

and slowly reached for the door knob, shaking with anticipation.

gailcalled's avatar

In spite of all the millions of horror movies that ended very badly when someone turned a door knob….

Coloma's avatar

As he openend the door he broke into a rousing chorus of the The time warp…‘it’s just a step to the left, and a jump to the right, put your hands on your hips, and pull your knees in tiiiight…’.....

Coloma's avatar

—@gailcalled—
Yeah, the last time I opened the door to a knock in the night I was attacked my a mother Raccoon and her kids!

Coloma's avatar

gotta eat dinner now..carry on…;-)

SeventhSense's avatar

.tiiight..Barely the chorus escaped his lips, he suddenly felt the sinking feeling of being slugged which dropped him to his knees. Looking down he could only gurgle a wheeze of crimson as he realized Atticus’s implement had penetrated his chest. His eyes flooded with despair as they searched Atticus’s cold steely gaze..

gailcalled's avatar

and he thought, “OMG. I forgot so many apostrophes while I was gurgling a wheeze. Next time no multitasking, but for now….

jeanmay's avatar

..he looked again at old Atticus. “Why would you do such a thing?!”, he cried. “Come with me and I will save you”, rasped old Atticus. Elliot’s mouth was set in grim defiance. “I will never go with you, old Atticus. Not after what you did to my father!” Old Atticus grinned demoniacally, “Elliot”, he hissed, ”I am your father”. Elliot blanched, and felt a curious tinge in his right hand. He stumbled to his feet, gurgling another crimson wheeze…

filmfann's avatar

“No!” he screamed. “Not the good scissors!”

chyna's avatar

“I just sharpened them!”

gailcalled's avatar

“And where can you get carbon steel scissors these days?”

Coloma's avatar

Hah!

You guy’s are very talented!

Crap…gotta tend to the micro-farm….I have so enjoyed your playfulness!

Turkeys in the straw, literally..it’s breeding season you know and every Turkey on this hill comes for dinner…retribution for Turkeys past consumed! lol

TexasDude's avatar

AND THEN THE TURKEY CAME BACK FROM THE STRAW IN ZOMBIE FORM

breedmitch's avatar

and reminded everybody that we’ve already done this once before on Fluther.

chels's avatar

But it didn’t matter because this was a new time.

andreaxjean's avatar

… where turkeys can sing like Michael Jackson and do the Thriller dance.

Coloma's avatar

Thats right!

And the turkeys are dancing now….one is staring down Clover the sheep…a deadly duel of beady eyes! lol

chels's avatar

But Clover gives the turkey the look of death, that look that you never want to see.

And just then..

the turkey falls over.

Coloma's avatar

Lol….it’s especially entertaining to watch the toms doing their ninja kicks at each other right in front of the sheep….sometimes they actually ricochet off them, sheep just stare, don’t even move. hahaha

Trillian's avatar

Meanwhile, the werepuss from scene one, about whom everyone had apparently forgotten, was creeping up on the lone straggler sheep who had separated from the flock/herd…what-the-hell-ever. One could read the evil intent from the look in his eyes and the beconing finger protruding from his chest. He readied for a magnificent pounce, shifting his back legs under him, when off in the distance…

chels's avatar

A horse drawn carriage was making it’s way up the dirt road. The sun was setting and it was starting to get cool. A man poked his head out of the carriage and said..

Coloma's avatar

Yo…woman with the Corona, come hither, I have magic beans for sale!

chels's avatar

She yelled back “Magic beans, eh? And what exactly do these magic beans do?” She gave an innocent smile and started to twirl her hair.

Trillian's avatar

The werepuss looked on in disgust before returning to the business at hand… Slightly salivating in anticipation, it once more positioned itself for the kill. Meowone, meowtwo, meowTHREE! He leaped, slashed, and off fell the head of the sheep. Oddly enough it remained standing. On closer examination, it was revealed that the sheep was dead, had been dead for days and nailed to the spot. No fresh mutton for werekitty. It was instead, stuffed with….

Coloma's avatar

goose feathers from the annual molt. Shocked and in fear the remaining sheep, Violet, Dandelion and Buttercup ran in circles around Clovers severed head, the werepussy crouched…

Coloma's avatar

and Jack the magic bean boy said to the woman, ‘if you buy my magic beans perhaps the werepussy will climb into the sky never to return.’

The woman looked squarely into Jacks shifty eys and spoke.

‘I shall buy your beans my good man, but if you turn out to be a perverted bean huckster I will chop down your beanstalk!’

Trillian's avatar

Kitty, meanwhil was thinking, “I’m meowgetting something to eat tonight one way or anothermeow.” Slash went the tail. Then werekitty remembered the wagon passing by. Kitty leaped through the air and as the boy was passing the beans (no pun intended) to the woman, kitty gobbled them all down. “That was ameowappetizer” thought werekitty. “Meow for the main course” Kitty skidded, turned, and ran back towards the bot an woman who were staring at him in amazement…

Coloma's avatar

lol

Just then the woman ducked and werekitty sprang onto Dove the big buckskin mule that stood grazing peacefully behind the bean boy.

The werecats claws sunk deeply into Doves flank and mule reared, pawing tghe air with her giganctic hooves, the werekitty fell to the ground and….

chels's avatar

turned into a pile of ash.

SeventhSense's avatar

@jeanmay
LOL…Ok you lost me after Elliot was having a conversation with Darth Vader who just stabbed him in the chest with a pair of scissors.
edit: blowing bubbles of blood all along

Coloma's avatar

Darth was the bean man in disguise….the werepussy was gone, a skimpy pile of dusty ash flittered to the ground…poof…and just then a beansprout swelled from the erath, growing, growing at amazing speed…up, up, up…...

jeanmay's avatar

@SeventhSense Yeah, I got lost myself somewhere around there too! Luckily, everyone else just carried on regardless.

SeventhSense's avatar

It’s going to be a made for TV movie anyway…

The woman craned her neck, looked to the heavens, and called out , “Elliot, just put a bandaid on it and come here. There’s a weed to be pulled!”

gailcalled's avatar

Trillian's avatar

so as he sank into a stupor he was carried away by the haunting, off key, melody…Edelweiss, edelweiss, youuuu look happy to greeeeeet meeeeee. He saw a light and felt a calm, peacefulness sweep over him. He drifted deeper into the great unknown, only to be awakened to insistent tapping on his forehead. Werekitty was a trained medic and had given him an infusion of blood and jelly. Raspberry.

Coloma's avatar

OMG!

Elliot had an epihany!

None of this was real, he was tripping!

Being a chemist Martha was always leaving strange beakers of stuff around the house. Her latest experiments were with organic hallucinates.

By jingo..Elliot must have drank one of Marthas potions that was chilling in the fridge!

He recalled that bottle of what he thought was cranapple juice…....

andreaxjean's avatar

… was really a bottle of PCP with fruit flavoring.

mattbrowne's avatar

Today he would learn the truth.

snowberry's avatar

But he drank too much PCP and the serious side effects took over. First he began to hallucinate (not that he hadn’t already done quite a bit if that since the beginning, but these hallucinations took the experience to a whole new level). Then he felt extremely aggressive, and began to rip off were-kitty’s legs.
